My cat eats a LOT, could something be wrong with her?

Question

I feed her once in the morning and once at night. Sometimes she makes me feel so bad that I feed her in the middle of the day. She will eat anything I give her and all of it. If she does not have food to eat in her dish she goes and eats the dog's food. She then meows like crazy at our feet cuz she wants us to feed her. What up with this cat, she is about 9 months old.

Oh this cat has more toys then a first born child. Also she has the dog and they both play all day. She gets LOTS of attention. Other then the food thing she seems to be fine, well she runs into walls a lot...sometime even gets hurt. She is very hyper and does not pay attention. Last night she feel off the dresser cuz she could not get down and then slipped.

She is an indoors cat and I only feed her a small amount in the morning and afternoon. I can't leave food in her dish....she eats it!!!

She eats about a half cup of imes kitten food 2 times a day. She does not get dry food, dry food is bad for cats (I could care less what anyone thinks of that). She is not fat, but I don't want her to be a fat at eather. She was at the vet a few weeks ago getting fixed. They didn't say anything was wrong.

Answer 1

She is controlling you.Feed her once in morning and than once in the evening.Is she outdoor or indoor cat?If outdoor leave food out during the day bring in or pick up at night due to critters.She may have a medical condition have her checked.

Answer 2

Has she been to the vet recently? You should take her in for a checkup and explain what's going on to the vet.

Are you feeding her dry food? Most cats do better with canned food than dry - dry food is too high in carbohydrates and doesn't contain enough protein to satisfy their nutritional needs, so most cats will overeat if they're only fed dry food.

Answer 3

There is not enough information. You haven't said what you are feeding or how much you are feeding only how many times a day you feed your cat. I have a feeling that you probably aren't feeding enough calories. I have the calorie content of most cat foods and you can email me with more info if you want.

Answer 4

Give the poor cat something to do. Get her a rope on a stick and play with her! She's not hungry she wants attention. Cats will just keep eatting, like humans if there's nothing else to do.

Just feed her in the morning and at night. Maybe get her a friend to play with. Make sure she has water and she'll be fine.

Answer 5

That sounds like a great deal for her to eat. Ok you say you feed her at least 2 times a day but how much??
Honestly it sounds like seh may have worms I would have her checked by the vet. Dog food isn't good for her on a long time basis.

Answer 6

Yes, it is normal. Plastic makes a funny noise and feels good in a cats mouth. If it swallows any, take it to a vet, but if not then do not. Your cat is just being a kitty, my two cats that are 7, LOVE plastic and paper. If they chew on anything you do not want them to, Spray lemon or pepper spray on the area. Pet supply stores usually sell sprays like this that have citrus in them that are relatively cheap. Hope I helped :)
